music and freedom

I certainly realise this is not a political email
forum, but I could not help but relate the above short article on someone in
Hungry stating that rock music (and presumably other forms of music) helped
bring down communism (or repression of thinking from their viewpoint).

Music has a way of bringing freedom of thought to
the listner, by its freedom of personal expression by the performer. Sub and
unconsiously, music appeals to an individual finding other starting points to
what may be their own limited thinking. In this time of a curtailment of
freedoms, music has in important service to perform in helping people to keep
the faith in their own liberated spirit.... Music is a
great metaphor for freedom and creativity. Rock on, loop on, sound on,
etc!!!!
